Recorded some sound with a cymbal and a cowbell, lowered some parts with sampler, played other parts through the Nebulae, and recorded it with window open to have some sound from outside as well

Here’s my entry, details C&Pd below - I’ll get into the convo a bit later & tomorrow - just got to nip out & sort a few things first, peace all!

YEScomputAWE

"A work in process peep into my woodshed, faintly exasperated conversation about… creativity? With my dear, long-suffering, friend: the computer. Accompanied by twiddling knobs on Korg Volca Bass/Keys/Sample, sequenced in Numerology with just a splosh of echoechoecho. I’ve had this sitting around for years but was being far too perfectionist about it at the time so really lost patience with myself - all the original sequences etc are lost now, so just went back to the original recording and did a bit of editing (Reaper) - minimal post-production just a bit of compression & limiting from Limiter no.6

I can’t remember what I used to do the voice, it was some sort of old freeware amiga, or maybe commodore 64, emulator. We chatted in real time, me just saying whatever came into my head & then helping 'puter reply by typing words into his wee mouth, out through speakers into the room (and my Zoom H2n) just as day was dawning one September morning (2016), and then I edited some of the pauses out, etc.

Since then I’ve got rid of all the programs I can’t afford - which is nearly all of them, as I have had no income for some time - I don’t want to be a pirate, I want to help and contribute, so am going all free and open source, and am planning to rebuild my way up to being able to make this level of stuff (+++) by coding my own sequencers etc in Pure Data, gonna take some time, mind, I int no programmamama.

Have reserved my rights on this as thinking might be able to put an EP out? But always up for collaboration & can change this if needs be."

I’m thinking I might not mess around too much more with it, just try and get some old bits together, and out there, and try and keep moving on. Not sure, I have a few bits from the last few years that are sort of of a piece - it’s all a bit rough around the edges but think maybe best off going with what I’ve got…

Cheers peeps, catch yous later.

This was beautifully haunting. Thank you :pray:

NEEDS MORE COWBELL! :grin:
just kidding, couldn’t resist :sweat_smile:
This reminds me of Japanese Gagaku but with more subtlety to its ebb and flow that keeps me listening, drawing me in closer and closer. Really loved hearing this :clap:

Loved that snappy beat, but also the conversation captured the feeling of social isolation perfectly for me… not sure how to describe, like a sarcastic/humorous tolerance of my situation while realizing tech can actually help, so long as i’m willing to move with the patience i was supposed to be practicing all along through my life even outside these times… and then there’s that ecstatic release into the music :raised_hands: Yes :open_hands:

Music is a collab with Guska (German musician I met through Metapop) and videos with Patrick Guillot (French painter met through Audiofanzine)
With music I travel from my Pyrenean sheepfold :slight_smile:

Now time to listen to you all!

I hope you don’t take this the wrong way - but this track reminds me of Harry Potter :sweat_smile:

When I was a child and growing up watching the movies the tonal jump between the 2nd and 3rd movie into something a bit more dark and serious left quite an impression on me. In particular I was left quite haunted by these scenes of death-eaters literally sucking the life out of characters while others flew around an invisible hemisphere and always found the sound design was very effective in establishing that feeling in me.
This sound really almost provokes that feeling in me again - its great

This track is a work in progress for my upcoming album. This is the first Schemawound album where I am working with any outside contributors, on this track fellow Junto participant Kiggler (@kiggler) adds synth layers that forced the track into a whole new direction.

I think most of the layers and changes for this track are in the correct location but it still needs a proper mix and some finishing touches.

It’s a rabbithole but once you get into it a bit you quickly get interesting sounds.

I take unique pleasure when a shared Junto project track includes shared code.

This is something that I have been doing and is still in progress. I don’t know where it is going from here, and it may be sort of foolish, but it is what I have been doing this week.

I’m not sure if I’m in the right place. New participant. I’ve set up a new SC account for this. Here’s my first contribution.

I wrote this in about an hour. That’s exponentially less time than I normally take to write a piece. But that’s why I’m here, frankly.

This piece was entirely organic and is 90% or more improvised. I don’t much like it. I think it’s derivative and unoriginal, but I don’t know what else to expect in making myself write much faster than ususual. I hope to get some balance and perspective. To be able to write good music efficiently. I’m anything but efficient today. Anyway, I’ll stick around and see what Marc dishes out in upcoming weeks and see how it goes.

Cheers!

Yeah, you can just reply to a track here. There are restrictions built into this forum on the number and frequency of replies. If you intend to reply to several tracks, it can help to do so in combination within a single post.
